The authors have been designing a post-installed anchor that fixes itself into concrete material by expanding the tip in an upward direction, and conducted tensile loading tests to confirm its fundamental dynamic characteristics. test results on three types of specimens, with morphology as parameter, indicate final failure modes were all bar fractures, stable yield strength was confirmed. Addit...

Cortical trauma can lead to development of electrographic paroxysmal activities. Current views of trauma-induced epileptogenesis suggest that chronic neuronal hyperexcitability and extensive morphological reorganization of the traumatized cortex are required for the generation of electrographic seizures. However, the mechanisms responsible for the initiation of electrographic seizures shortly a...
